Is the cyber threat overblown? | Stephen M. Walt

Is the cyber threat overblown? | Stephen M. Walt

I agree that we must differentiate from the real and potential threats that the term cyberwarfare engenders as well as what are the hierarchy of importance of such threats and there implications and solutions.Allowing governing and governments greater control of the internet is not necessarily the solution and in fact can be the promoter of further unnecessary and civil liberty limiting activity along with facilitating further the capaitalising and consumer carving up of the internet by selling various security solutions that are snake oil to some degree....importantly though it could be that it is distracting us also from more important issues that require our attention like climate change.
